A heavy, compact slab-serif with broad stems, tight counters, and emphatic, squarish serifs that read as slightly bracketed and rounded at the joins. Stroke endings are flat and sturdy, with subtle notches and scooped corners that create an ink-trap-like texture in the interior spaces. Proportions are condensed overall, with short extenders and a compact, sturdy lowercase; the numerals match the same chunky, squared rhythm. The overall color is very dark and even, with small internal apertures that reinforce a dense, poster-ready silhouette.
Best suited for headlines, posters, signage, and packaging where strong impact and a vintage voice are desired. It also works well for short logotypes and labels that benefit from a dense, high-contrast word shape and a wood-type-inspired texture.
The font conveys a classic show-poster and Old West tone—confident, loud, and a bit playful. Its chunky slabs and carved-in details suggest wood type, giving it a nostalgic, handcrafted personality suited to bold, characterful messaging.
The design appears intended to emulate bold, condensed slab display lettering with a carved, slightly distressed flavor, prioritizing immediate presence and character over neutrality. Its consistent, blocky construction and distinctive notched details aim to create memorable, high-impact titles.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and the counters are small, so the face holds together strongly at display sizes but can feel crowded in long passages. The distinctive interior notches and squared bowls add recognizability, especially in capitals and numerals.
